The food industry has and continues to go through change, as it answers the demands for sustainability, plant-based, and innovation. In 2024, it is estimated that the food market will amount to US$10.07tn, and is expected to grow annually by 6.53% to 2028. It is also seeing generalised growth of online sales, from 3.7% in 2023 to 4.3% in 2024, with a trajectory to 5.3% by 2027.
